OR we can hope for better itemization for casters and healers in phase 2 so the already rare loot isn’t so hyper contested.
The fact that healers are competing with caster dps is already absurd.
If they remove all the +shadow or +fire gear gear then that is just going to make the spellpower gear even more contested. Even if they make multiple necks for example the better one is going to be contested by every caster.
There should be more +fire +shadow +healing options that are better than the generic +spellpower option so that every caster doesn’t need the same items.
Well no, because that gear is still inferior to pure spellpower.
I use fire spells and shadow spells in my rotation. I need spellpower. I have shadowpower gloves, pants and neck. Which are essentialy garbage items since they only buff my dots. not my main abilties.
All it does is saturate the loot table. If you dont bring a warlock to the raid and a shadowpower neck drops then it’s instant disenchant because nobody else wants it.
Or nothing. You cant fix the itemization, but you can fix the people you play with.
Don’t expect developer help, create your own help.
Well then you could wear the generic spellpower piece and let’s say you had a full Fire Warlock in your group he would take the +fire damage piece if it had more spellpower.
You both would gear up faster and have less competition between gear.
there isnt really anything called a full fire warlock. We will forever be using fire and shadow spells in our rotation.
I don’t know how to tell you this but the top Warlock damage dealers use exclusively fire damage spells save shadowburn to snipe a last second attack because their last incinerate wouldn’t cast fast enough before the boss dies.
So glad you worded it like that. Shadowburn deals shadow damage.
… Are you trying to say that more +fire damage is worse than less +spellpower because you might use a single shadow spell at the end of a fight to min max your casts a little bit?
Yes. You use shadowburn on cooldown if you want to parse high. But its beside the point. Even as a full destruction warlock, I will still be using agony/corruption alot of the time, at least at the beginning of a fight. Shadowburn is a crucial warlock ability for the majority of builds. Shadow dmg.
In addition. Now at the 25 bracket, there is not a single “fiery” chest piece that gives the fire spell power. So I am still using my SFK robe with no spellpower on it. I can use a shadow power chest, but it doesn’t really help me too much, at that point I might just want the int/stam so I can cast more spells before going oom and having to use globals on lifetap.
Spellpower will ALWAYS be superior. For warlocks and for boomkin druids. Since we will forever be casting 2 types of magic in our rotation.
nerf master channeler imo
Agreed. but nobody is using that in pve tho
Get a new guild. Mine let me roll (and win) the headpiece.
